I know there's some issue with Passenger and OpenBSD's pthreads, but it's supposed to work on FreeBSD, according to their docs, so I think the Passenger devs would appreciate a bug report[1] about that. Out of interest, were you using the FreeBSD rubygem-passenger port (which seems to be actively maintained[2]), or hand-rolling something? > As for mongrel2, > it won't compile on FreeBSD.

Unicorn[3] has been getting some attention lately (i.e. Twitter and GitHub are using it). It's 1.9-compatible, and I remember seeing some FreeBSD-specific options in its config, so it could be worth a look.
